Some of you will know I have more then I bike ;), so today was Cruiser Day @ The Ace Café London, I went on my Honda VTX1300 ,
I left my house at 9am this morning and got back in at 7.45pm did just short of 500 miles 8)
only had 2 downpours to ride through and the rest of the day was dry very sunny and warm :)
the place was very busy with Indians and Victory motorbikes having a big meet there,
there was also some old British bikes, Jap bikes and a nice old Moto Guzzi , enjoy the photos cheers Mick.

Iv got nothing against Brit bikes its just Enfields were dated in the 40's and no faster than a 125 Bantam.

Hi Pete yeah I put my F1 engine in over the winter and its running great now :),
spent a bit of time a couple of weekends ago setting float heights etc and got it running sweet now,
ive bought LPM side panels for it, a ducktail seat and new mirrors and K1 clocks I know there not correct but have you seen the price of KO clocks :o,
I still think about selling it as a job lot with my F1 and spares ?,
i hardly use it , i could really do with the space & i could do with a bigger newer van for my man & van jobs :-\, cheers Mick.
-
Will that mean leaving the sohc scene when you sell up
Pete
-
No i'll still hang around ;) any way I haven't put them up for sale yet :) cheers Mick.
-
Yes its a tough one when it comes to selling , i sometimes think F--- it i going to sell some of my bikes, i get them out clean them up have a ride and then change my mind, lots of my bikes just dont get used and yet i still cant part with them,

Thanks for the pictures mick, seems like a decent ride out for you. There is usually some good interesting stuff there and always worth a trip, I was looking at UKPete's K1 there when he put me onto this site a couple of years back.
I think bikes are a bit like cats in that they seem to choose you as owners and don't often leave once in a good home.

Nigel do you remember when we rode out of the ace cafe in the rain, you stopped at the lights and i pulled on my front brake and nothing happened and i overshot and went through a red LOL
Pete
-
Yep, I thought I'd missed something as you went flying past me ! that was your F2.
I've got to get up there again as I've not been over for a while, usually drop past Newlands corner if I'm going past but usually with the kids in tow and they moan at me looking at old bikes.....they'll get it one day though after all the indoctrination.
Funny they do like the Ace though as it involves food for them.
-
i will give you a shout next time i am going
pete
-
I'll be there next year ;) cheers Mick.
-
Possibly see you there on cruiser day as well mick
-
That's fine Pete , I could do with a reminder if anything good is on. Give us a shout if you go out box hill way as well, last time I was over there it was mostly mods+scooters.
